Citizens Information Phone Service

The Citizens Information Phone Service (CIPS) is funded and supported by the Citizens Information Board. CIPS was established in 2001 as a national Citizens Information telephone-based service. CIPS provides a comprehensive and confidential information service to people throughout the country, mainly over the phone but also through other channels, including email and SMS.

The Citizens Information Phone Service operates Monday-Friday, 9am-9pm (excluding public holidays). All calls from landlines within Ireland are charged at local rates. Calls from mobile phones may incur additional charges.
